Casting No Shadows

You didn’t stand a chance
Neither did I
You didn’t join the dance
Neither did I
We kept our distance
Warmed by the dissonance
We kept our distance
From the irrelevance
We carved our own path
We made our own way
We didn’t stand a chance
With all that stood in our in our way
We made a memory
A record of resonance
We thought we caught a glimpse
Because we were different
Little did we know
You didn’t stand a chance
Neither did I
You didn’t join the dance
Neither did I
You didn’t cast a shadow
You didn’t cast a shadow
You didn’t cast a shadow
You didn’t cast a shadow
You didn’t cast a shadow

Easy To Forget
04:57
|

It’s easy to forget who you are
It’s harder to admit when you’ve
gone too far
It’s easy to take a joke
It’s hard to understand
how dreams turn to smoke
Part of you knew
It might come to this
But none of us knew
How deep the abyss
Maybe you suspected
It might come to this
But none of us knew
How deep the abyss
It’s easy to forget what you know
It’s hard to implement a new rule
to follow
Look back with new eyes
Cut yourself slack
You might be surprised
Sideline a project
No one will suspect
Change up your logic
Press stop then eject
Shy away from priorities
Clear your calendar
Gather up your loose ends
Steep your thoughts in lavender
Take it away…
It’s easy to forget who you are
It’s harder to admit when you’ve
gone too far
It’s easy to forget who you are
It’s harder to admit when you’ve
gone too far
It’s easy to forget
It’s harder to admit
It’s easy to forget
It’s harder to admit
It’s easy to forget
It’s harder to admit

I try not to think about it
I try not to think about it
I try not to think about it
I try not to think about it
How do you feel right now?
How can you deal right now?
It’s getting real right now
Like what’s the deal right now?
I try not to think about it
If I do I start to doubt it
Am I fake? I’m all about it
And I try not to think about it
I came bearing a message
That I forgot before I got here
The wisdom of the ages
That I forgot before I got here
And I try not to think about it
If I do I start to doubt it
Dada? I’m all about it
But I try not to think about it
The monster’s out of the bag
Don’t feel like waving no flag
Uncertainty is a drag
The monster’s out of the bag
Out of the bag
And I try not to think about it
I try not to think about it
I try not to think about it
And I try not to think about it
How do you feel right now?
How do you feel right now?

Two Thousand and Five
03:19

Do you remember 2005
And what it felt like
Just being alive
Do you remember 2005
One day at a time
Just trying to survive
When you’re alone
Inside your mind
Listening to the air around you
Remember when
You found yourself
Taking stock of the world around you
Do you remember 2005
No change of heart
No money left behind
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Seeking the truth
Not knowing what you will find
When you’re alone
Inside your mind
Listening to the air around you
The crowded room
That is your mind
Lingers in the air around you
Do you remember 2005
And what it felt like
Just being alive
Do you remember 2005
One day at a time
Just trying to survive
When you’re alone
Inside your mind
Listening to the air around you
The crowded room
That is your mind
Lingers in the air around you
Do you remember 2005
Do you remember 2005

Thru the 80s
04:09

Things I like
No one knows
Can’t remember
So it goes
How many times
Do we have to live
Thru the eighties
Thru the eighties
I know this is your first time
I hope this is your last time
But how do you think it feels
For me
For me
Falling into the darkness
Need to change but how
I reach for transcendence
And I find it somehow
Radiance in my fingers
Super powers hide
Take a chance on something
Hiding deep inside — deep inside
Things I like
No one knows
Can’t remember
So it goes
How many times
Do we have to live
Thru the eighties
I know this is your first time
I hope this is your last time
But how do you think it feels
For me
For me
Falling into the darkness
Need to change but how
I reach for transcendence
And I find it somehow
Radiance in my fingers
Super powers hide
Take a chance on something
Hiding deep inside — deep inside
So much radiance — AAAAHHHH
So much radiance — AAAAHHHH
So much radiance — AAAAHHHH
So much radiance — AAAAHHHH
I know this is your first time
I hope this is your last time
But how do you think it feels
For me

OK Now I Get It
04:24
|

Okay now I get it
Okay now I get it
I am the shadow
I am the living ghost
Of someone forgotten long ago
Okay now I see it
Okay now I see
I am a shadow
I am a living ghost
And I thought it was the other
Way around
I can’t understand it
What were we thinking?
How could we command it?
What was I thinking?
A memory is half as good
As a paper chalice
Separate the men from the boys
And the boys from each other
Okay now I get it
Okay now I get it
I am the shadow
I am the living ghost
Of someone forgotten long ago
Okay now I get it
Okay now I get it

Win-Win
03:29

Most of my wins
Never get celebrated
I’ll always work
To make it better
Funny how hard we try
Only to settle
For something that comes along
At just the right moment
Most situations
Are out of our control
You know what it feels like
To always be yearning
Settle for less
And you may never live it down
But the fire inside you
Will always be burning
We both like to kill time
In different ways
You go for the kill
I admit I’m a goner
It don’t matter much
To anyone else
In our own little world
This could go until...
This could go until sunup
One of us
Is a specialist
The other is
A jack of all trades
I never really
Considered it
But maybe it’s
Better this way
Absolute immersion
We figured out the details
Only to step back and see
They’d all gone away
I don’t criticize you
For feelin’ the way you do
I know it’s a win-win
If we can make it through
You opened a portal in me
When you said you believed me
Of everyone here
You’re the one who can see me
You opened a portal in me
When you said you believed me
Of everyone here
You’re the one who…
You’re the one who can see me
Yesterday would have been better
Tomorrow’s already too late
If you follow my note to the letter
You’ll know when and where you should wait
Yesterday would have been better
Tomorrow’s already too late
If you follow my note to the letter
You’ll know where and when you should wait

What does the future look like
What does the future sound like
What does the future look like
What if it turns out to be true
No one really wants to be right
When they know it will hurt
No one really wants to be right
When they know it will hurt
Where do you park your space ship
Where you beam your thought projections
Where do you keep your good sense
When the world’s in chaos
Reality is another dimension
Reality is another dimension
You are who you are
But you are in another dimension
What does the future look like
What does the future sound like
Where do you park your space ship
Where you beam your thought projections
Where do you keep your good sense
When the world’s in chaos
Where you beam your thought projections
